Eric Decker crosses over to showbiz

Broncos receiver and magazine coverboy Eric Decker is getting married this summer to country music star Jessie James.

The E! network will chronicle their lives in a reality show called: “Love and Other Contact Sports: Eric and Jessie.’’ Decker received John Elway’s blessing for the show.

“To each his own,’’ said Elway, the Broncos’ executive vice president of football operations. “I don’t think that’s going to affect (his football). I know Eric Decker and how hard he works and what football means to him.”

Elway then called on his own experience with marriage. He has been divorced and is remarried to Paige.

“Obviously, when you’re going to get married, there are two sides,” Elway said. “There is give and take in a marriage. I kind of take my hat off to him, the fact that he’s gone ahead and agreed to that.’’
